Adaptive fastening system*
The adaptive fastening system is used to divide
up the cargo bay. It consists of two brackets
with a telescopic rail and retaining straps.
These are guided into the two rails on the cargo
bay floor.
Before using the adaptive fastening sys-
tem, fold up and lock the backrest of the
2nd or 3rd row seats, as otherwise the cargo
could be thrown around in the vehicle interior in
an accident.
